It offers gourmet treats for those with spiritual hunger, a feast of innovative perspectives on building social collateral (trust, forgiveness, resilience . . .), and intellectual desserts for the mathematically inclined. User-friendly for the non-mathematician, the book also provides a smorgasbord of resources for those who want to know more about the math. Deeply personal but also scholarly, with an unprecedented use of mathematical metaphors, this book will appeal to mathematicians, scientists, teachers, philosophers, religious educators, and spiritual seekers of many persuasions. A math professor before becoming a Unitarian Universalist minister, the author has compiled herein a lifetime of creative study about the relationship between math and religion. She has pioneered ways to use mathematics to help clarify such spiritual ideas as God, fairness, equality, redemption, and the nature of things. In the process she coined the terms “matheology” and “mathaphor,” introduced the notion of math sermons, and has expanded the concept of moral math. This exciting collection of essays (with a little poetry as garnish) uses math as a language to nourish the spiritual heart of our global society.

Book excerpt: Much of math history comes to us from early astrologers who needed to be able to describe and record what they saw in the night sky. Whether you were the king’s court astrologer or a farmer marking the best time for planting, timekeeping and numbers really mattered. Mistake a numerical pattern of petals and you could be poisoned. Lose the rhythm of a sacred dance or the meter of a ritually told story and the intricately woven threads that hold life together were spoiled. Ignore the celestial clock of equinoxes and solstices, and you’d risk being caught short of food for the winter. Shesso’s friendly tone and clear grasp of the information make the math “go down easy” in this marvelous book.

Book excerpt: Math needs Jesus. It's a bold statement, but hear me out. Math is often seen as an abstract and impersonal subject, filled with numbers and equations that have no real-world meaning or purpose. But when we introduce faith into the equation, everything changes. Suddenly, math becomes more than just a series of calculations - it becomes a tool for uncovering the beauty and complexity of God's creation.Charity's book on the intersection of math and spirituality shows us how mathematical princi-ples can be used to reveal the deeper meanings behind our world. This unique approach to teaching math not only engages students in a new way, but it also reminds us of the importance of seeing the world through a different lens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live, allegedly, in a postmodern age in which we have cast aside the narrative fantasies of the pre-modern era. If postmodernism represents the final abandonment of all grand theories, where does religion stand? If religion is a particularly unbelievable form of explanation, why does it power still affect social and political change? Here, like the skeptics of our age, the author asks, What has theology ever had to say that was of the slightest use to anyone? He argues that religion without God is like a car without an engine, and draws on many aspects of human culture to offer a defense of religion that is not only credible but necessary in an age when postmodernism itself has been exposed as a cruel illusion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Key to the Universe is a fascinating text exploring spirituality and mysticism through the eyes of Harriette Augusta Curtiss. Any readers familiar with Curtiss will be reminded of her involvement with the Order of Christian Mystics and the themes of her earlier works including: "Gems of Mysticism," and "Letters from the Teacher." This book presents a valiant combined effort between Curtiss and her husband to bring spiritual truth, as they see it, to the forefront of religious texts. To Curtiss, the suffering of the world-- a deep famine of the word of God and a distinct lack of True Believers-- is proof that the world is demanding a new, authoritative text on religious belief and practice. With this text, Curtiss aims to fill this void and provides the reader with a succinct guide to a range of mystical symbols in the world around them, including the mystical significance of numbers and shapes. She shares with the reader that during a particularly dark period, when she herself endured an episode of "soul hunger" she found guidance in symbols around her and hopes that this book will guide others who feel similarly that their lives and their spirituality are lacking in ways they cannot explain. In this book, Curtiss hopes to explore some of life's bigger questions and provide real answers with mysticism, symbolism, and a deep dedication to spirituality. The Key to the Universe is crafted with an elegance and focus unmatched in Harriette Augusta Curtiss' previous works. This text is an interesting read for anyone interested in specific symbols, numbers, and shapes, and their hidden meanings. Furthermore, this book stands out as a wonderful guide for students of mysticism and practitioners of this very distinct form of spirituality.
